GOOD LUCK SARA!!



I see a great new job in your future!!

 

[radioclash2]

OK, for all you visualizers out there - please visualize me getting a job offer from this firm I just interviewed with. They seem really great, the work is totally within my comfort zone, and the pay is much better than I'm currently making. The only downside is that they're not sure (once I clean everything up) that the position will be full time. But the clean up should take a year or so...

So, please think happy thoughts in my direction. We could really use the extra income (and I promise to make monthly payments for our TOAL)

Happy Thoughts. I'm visualizing you in the job now. You look really happy.

good afternoon everyone! i can't believe in just 2 days we will be at the world!!!! woohoo! getting sooo excited! and the kids still have NO idea!!!!

Have a great time!

They are starting renovation of DLH this fall and I have heard rumor of some kind of hotel expansion. Would not surprise me that they are planning a 4th tower in the future that will be named after the 4th ship.

Maybe this will the expected DL DVC............here's hoping

Debi...I loved your pictures of Harley! Bo, the "puppy" does that with the hose too.

Look how much he's grown....to think when we got him, he was smaller than the Lhasa!

And he has a "Hidden Mickey" under his chin. I'd take a picture if only he'd sit still for it.

Bo sure has grown Stace!

Is this what i come back to.....?

34 (*$^*&%$& pages

Hope to find the answers this evening (got work this morning to ketchup on)

Does Sil ever make it out of NY to reach the boat on time?

Does Jack ever make it back to NY?

Does the fog ever lift at Kennedy?

Do both of them ever fly Jet Blue again?


(These are the pirates of our lives......

I was wondering the same thing today. Also wondered how the Dr. Appt went with his DD.

Happy News!!!​

Took my oldest son (currently 19) to NYC for his 6 month check-up on Thursday. Everything went well, but now we have the official news: his PET and CT were clean. That means five years clean: He's now considered cured!!!

​

​

Of course, he said he was cured once they stopped treatments, but I'm one happy momma!​

That's great news. We are 3 years and counting

I am so happy for you!!!

I am 6 years and counting!!!!

I'm am so happy for you all! That is definitely news to celebrate!!!

Really sorry we missed the meet, especially after what we went through getting home. As you may recall, we chose to end our trip on 8/23 because that was the last day we could find frequent flyer tickets with direct flights to Chicago.

So we left the Yacht Club at 4 on Thursday and went to MCO and hung out for awhile before our 7:00 flight. We went through security around 5:30 and as I pulled my phone back out of my bag, saw the page our flight was cancelled, called AA and they rebooked us on a 7:05PM! flight Friday night. So we had to go claim our bags (so much for the ease of Magical Express) and spend a way-too-expensive night in the Hyatt.

So, short story was we could have just planned to stay through tonight and caught the connecting flight through STL and been home at the same time.

As I said to SWMBO last night (after finding out the 705PM flight on Friday did get to ORD around midnight after all), "Every decision we've made has taken us from bad to worse..."

J. R. I couldn't quote your whole story, but I just wanted to say...so sorry for such a miserable time getting home!

Don't be a stranger...I miss your wit!

I know that some of you are considering the DLH next August. Here are some candid shots around the property.
Neverland Pool

Thanks for the pics of the DLH. We were seriously think the GC because we'd like a balcony, but after seeing the pics of the pool I'm not so sure. I guess it will depend on how bad the points are.

Spent some time wondering around the DL Hotel after dinner last night. Looks like they have renamed the three towers. They use to be the Marina, Sierra and Bonita towers are now....

The main tower with the registration desk is now. (Marina Tower)

The tower closest to the Paradise Pier Hotel. (Bonita Tower)

The tower on the East side closest to Disneyland. (Sierra Tower)

Anyone want to make a guess what the next ship name is?
What is the significance of this name change, does it have anything to do with the boats? Maybe there will be some announcement next year when the Magic arrives.

Yep I'd say you are definitely on to something there!

For main course they had prime rib, mini baked potatoes, marinated chicken , wild rice, pot stickers and stir fry.

OMG I'm drooling! I love potstickers!!!!

I love bread pudding!!!

Happy Birthday Geffric!!!

I hope it was fantabulous!!!​

My mom and her "friend" Walt decided to join us in November on our 4 day cruise to the Bahamas. I just finished placing their ressie online and was able to get them a cabin just two doors down from us.

I told my mom, maybe she and Walt can use this cruise for their Honeymoon...............

I somehow lost this quote in my earlier post. Anyway, Andy is it true? Is Verandahgram really planning on getting married? If so tell Vy I said congrats!!!

For those of you who have an Entertainment book, you may be interested in this thread:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1549235

I just used the code to book two rooms and it worked! Not sure how much longer they will allow the code to go through (if you read the thread it gives details).

Thanks, I got my ressie down to the $54.00. I missed the first discount rates earlier cause I waited too long. This beats the $95.20 + tax I originally had. Now I have to buy the 08 book. My company usaually does a discount, but I'm going to see if the Anaheim book can be used as well. There may be some discounts.

JR I hope you can laugh about this someday!! The important thing is you all made it back safe and sound!!!

Any visits from the Dream Team??? You certainly deserved some!!! Post pictures before I leave. Any hints are appreciated!!

Are they iron-on patches?

I heard the mini was quite a success!! Glad you are back with us crazies again!

Good Monday morning everyone,

Well it's off to school for the start of another year. I'm not ready for my summer to be over, but the good thing is that I'm that much closer to graduation. This is my last year of actual classes, so I'm looking forward to getting them over.

I enjoyed being able to (mostly) keep up with the thread this summer. I hope to try to keep up with it during school too. I'll definitely be following the rest of the virtual cruise, and will be daydreaming about where we'll be next year while sitting in class!

Nothing but straight A's is acceptable!!!! Good Luck this year.

But its our last one to Christmas!

Do you really expect all of us to feel sorry for the country with so many bank holidays. You and David hold the record for most days off work.

good afternoon everyone! i can't believe in just 2 days we will be at the world!!!! woohoo! getting sooo excited! and the kids still have NO idea!!!!

I am getting excited too!!! Can't wait to meet you!!

And who could leave out dessert.

Between all your yummy pictures and free dining at WDW next week, I am going to gain every pound back I just lost!!

There, that feels better. Back to my self now. That other id is only for chat and doesn't even have a signature on it. I hate that I have old-timers sometimes.

Laura, I have old-timers so quit doing this to me!!!

Oops just realized I never changed my identity from chat last Friday. Better log out and become the real me. Just wish I could change the name on my posts. LOL

Welcome to Aruba

Currently 82F, Forcast Scattered Clouds. High: 91° F. / 33° C. Wind ESE 17 mph. / 28 km/h.

And for Debi and Kevin

 

[captaincrash]

Crash is most likely in bed now, although I think he sleeps little and is on these boards a lot.

[edited]​

Hey, Andrew....

... look at the BOTTOM two fortune cookie results and WHO they are for ......

And yes... I was asleep prety early by my standards more or less. 1st grade starts for the older one in a couple of days - Sooooo .... for the first time in perhaps 20 years I will now have a steady requirement to wake up at like 7AM to get the girls to school at 8 (or 8:30AM) .... I'm about to go through some shock as I shift into an early morning schedule - and start sleeping early all the time! Shoot .. it's only 10:30 now and we're trying to get the kids asleep here in the hotel ... and this sort of "push" is feeling like it is really 12:30AM or 1AM behavior!​

Welcome to Aruba

Currently 82F, Forcast Scattered Clouds. High: 91° F. / 33° C. Wind ESE 17 mph. / 28 km/h.

The first "real" cruise we ever took included Aruba as a port... and simultaneous to that our first land side stay in the Carribean was to Aruba in the days right before that 1st time carribean cruise. That was about 14-16 years ago. And as such, your photos bring back some pleasant memories. I have no idea where my Aruba pictures are ... although I know they are somewhere in the house or (gasp!) the garage. At any rate, thanks again for tossin' these images up Rodger! They stir and refresh pleasant memories with exciting adventures of "another time" for my spouse and I!

 

[captaincrash]

These are hilarious! Upon seeing the hose my dogs RUNS for the door. She has never liked water for whatever reason.

The last BATH....

I had to say I was echoing your thoughts here as our Samoyed also detests the water! Which reminds me... he is sorely in need of abath too. While we were away on Oahu my sister took care of him. Or rather, she lavished love and attention onhim - which means he went all over town to places unknown to me. And he came home to us sort of dirty from all the places he had been. My sister has all the fun with him and returns him needing a bath. < chuckles > ... and that's OK as it saved us 16 nites in a kennel at about $25 a nite! To say nothing of the emotional trauma he wold have gone through there!
